How much did we lose by? 20 goals? 

Agree on JKH

I understand why it's so negative after taking a loss like that, but going by the above it sounds like we lost by 12 goals, not by 2 points.

The one I do want to bring up is JKH - I think the bloke has done his dash as an AFL player.  You could argue he deserved to be rewarded for strong form at Casey, but I just don't think he's an AFL level player.  Just the 14 touches, missed a crucial shot in the last and just doesn't seem to do a whole lot with his possessions.  I'd be very, very surprised if he got another game.

Tyson wasn't too flash either but at least he looked more comfortable around the ball.  21 touches and 12 contested possies is his go, but you would much rather Viney in there doing that stuff.

Change second O Mac to T. Mac

He sure was dangerous - to my health and property. 

Tyson is at Trengove levels of slowness now.

Must be his knee, surely.

Oscar McDonald 

so many chances

why given chances

potential not realised

seriously lacks skills

seriously lacks strength

seriously lacks smarts

membrey destroyed him

cox destroyed him

hawkins destroyed him

back to Casey

keilty to debut

WB we agree

jkh is finished 

Hopefully Carlton can take him. Its a shame his form has dipped so badly.

Hasn't been the same player since Lever went down.   Hasn't worked into the same synergy with Frost as yet, plus no Hibberd hurt.

However, Hawkins took him to the cleaners tonight.  No argument there.

Smith - Wrong Joe Boy

Spargo - Not quite ready

Lewis - 30 cheap possessions 

Melbourne - Can’t play tempo

OMac - TGR sticks fat

Well, for all OMAC bashers  out there (I’m normally one of them) he did rebound nicely a few times coming off his man given that Hibberd wasn’t around. He was mostly failed by the decision makers, before the game by not putting a stronger body on Tom, and during the match when conceding a few, wasn’t switched to someone else. Frost looked hungry and capable tonight- could’ve done the job.

Almost warrants a thread really, seriously what has happened to Dom Tyson’s career. Highly rated youngster who showed all the right signs early but looks almost lost these days.

Agree quite strongly, two nice rebounds from OMac set the game up. This is obvious, surely? It gave us some new hope not seen in other games this year - or last year, for that matter. Then, he lost it, totally.

Hibberd, Viney and Speed were great losses tonight. Pedo should have been a back pocket tonight, changing at CHF - supporting both OMac and Hogan, Gawn and Spargo and Jeffy. 

ANB was off with the pixies and the deadly momentum wasters (Vince and Lewis) could seriously think of how they could be paying the MFC back for all of their limited contributions.

Harmes, Gus, Oliver and Fritsch worked hard.

OMac undid all of their hard work. 

Frost's best game for the MFC

It might as well had been. That is how many of us feel.

Do you feel fantastic Earl.

And we lost by 2 points at Kardinia Park - you couldn't be serious !

No of course I don’t but can we get some perspective here? Not everyone had a shocker in a three point loss where we should’ve, could’ve but didn’t and no help from the Umpires by the way. A blood rule not happening against Max or perhaps Tracca holding onto the ball longer and we maybe win. 

I don’t think we will make finals now and we need to do a lot more work and let’s hope we can get our best players on the park for most of a season next year. I also believe our game plan doesn’t help our players to achieve their best.

Unfortunately for Oscar he is the fall guy for angry supporters

Had another look - counted 6 players who may have won their spots ,made a difference or played well ( according to your 3 word summary )  - and we lost by 2 points ! Your three word summary is not worth 3 words - two will do - mostly crap! /

JKH has had 5 yrs & still plays like a deer in headlights. He may be a good VFL player but an AFL he is not. He is 2 timid & lacks composure. He is delist material. He can't cut it. I was prepared 2 give him the benefit of the doubt but when he missed that easy crucial shot because he didn't steady it highlighted to me that he can't play under pressure & we need to find players who hold their nerve.

Joeboy - Done an Oscar.

I'm ashamed to even read these above words! joeboy you must of been an amazing player!

Where to begin.

Fritsch was awesome tonight.

Spargo very good again.

Clarry very good.

Big Max Awesome.

Jordan Lewis classy.

Frost was good.

Jones played well as usual.

Angus good and spirited.

Harmes was busy retarding there's.

Jeffy not so good.

Jake Melk great when he was there.

Petracca doing good things.

Nev Jed great.

Big Tom fantastic.

Dom better, but still problematic.

Joel smith great fighting ability and still very promising.

Salem class.

Bernie. Reassures us. (Back off haters).

Kennedy looking fitter.

Oscar exposed again.

Jesse good when in possession.

 

We lost when we should of won. Jones needs to command more off the ball. Composure in the final minutes could of won this match.

We lost when we should of won, so I personally look at all the positives.
